  1. This is supposed to cure corns. If you get up at seven O'Clock in the morning, and stay fasting until half past seven o'clock and when the clock rings half past seven, then get a small drop of turpentine and put it on the corn and after five days the corn is gone.

  2. I never will forget the day,
    That I left Riverstown,
    I never will forget those who
    with me did come down.
    I never will forget,
    The last long look from the top of Kaiteens bray
    At Sligo town that lies so snug
    At the foot of Knocknarea.
    II
    The green fields of Ardcumber,
    And the grouses of Coopershill,
    Keash and Geevagh too, like wise.
